Method

  • step 1

    Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, flake the mackerel fillets into large pieces and cut the beetroot into bite-size chunks.

  • step 2

    Drain the potatoes and cool slightly. Mix the salad dressing and horseradish sauce together in a salad bowl and season. Tip in the potatoes – they should still be warm.

  • step 3

    Add the salad leaves, mackerel, beetroot, celery and walnuts, and toss gently. Serve with crusty bread.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE YOUR OWN SALAD DRESSING

If you would like to make your own salad dressing, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp wine vinegar or lemon juice and 1 tsp Dijon or other mild mustard. Season to taste, then mix with the horseradish.

This is still my favourite beetroot salad!

Very tasty salad! We used kipper instead of mackerel since it's a bit cheaper, skipped the celery, and used a honey and mustard dressing. Would definitely recommend! The fish, beetroot, potatoes, and horseradish are all wonderful together and it was really quick to whip up. Looking forward to making…

question

Are portion sizes for main or starter? Was planning for 8 as a starter, do i need to double ingredients?

Thanks for your question. This would be enough for 4 for a light meal so would suggest as a starter 1 - 1 1/ 2 times the recipe, depending on how filling the rest of the courses are. You could also use the same quantities and simply add one more mackerel fillet.

Had this just now and it was absolutely delicious. I bought raw mackerel and grilled it and also added some lardons of bacon. I will certainly be making it again in the near future. I have a lot of cookery books and most evenings use Good Food website. It's not often I'm disappointed. Well done GF…

Very good surprise. I love it. Nice and healthy. I've warm up the fish too and no celery as I don't like it.
